Comments

Fourth concert in Melbourne, and third taped by George (aka boyacrobat). All respects and gratitude to the taper, who decided to put his masters in circulation almost 17 years after the shows took place. 

This source is missing the last four songs. To my ears, this tape does not sound as bright as the recordings of the previous nights, but it brings for sure less audience noise, and also keeps an overall very good quality, considering its rarity. I don't know why but this set contains tiny marks between tracks (maybe due to the software used to split them). Persistent clipping is again present in this tape. Actually, it is hard and detracting in a few occasions. All I Want is You contains a skip at 02:34 that cuts off a pair of seconds of the song.
